ive been trained the "basics" of selling reptiles such as corn snakes. royal pythons, king snakes, milk snakes, bearded dragons, leopard geckos and crested geckos so i know more than the average joe but not as much as actual reptile owners... but i find the snakes fascinating and like holding them.
laurac94 i do like bearded dragons but the food, lighting and heating has by far the most expensive cost and being a student im a tad stingy lol
MBOU its not something ive rushed into, ive been selling them for a year. and i wouldn't necessarily need all that equipment at the start.
what ive been taught is with juvenile snakes is that the viv needs to be quite small as large areas can cause stress, and the ceramic heater again depends on the size of the viv.
i also have easy access to frozen mice and rats.
